For your review is a recent small portrait I delivered Saturday. I wasn't sure how it would be recieved as on my first meeting with the couple the husband was very discouraging claiming they had no room for a portrait. The wife seemed to melt into the walls but by the end of the first meeting he agreed to a single head and shoulders of his wife.

The husband seemed to become more enthusiastic during the photography and color study sessions but I wasn' sure how he would react to the final painting.

They loved it and the husband was busy asking my advice on were to hang it.

The wife took about 30 of my cards for her tennis club.

The painting measures 16" x 20" and is oil on stretched linen.
